A major part of the "zombie mythos" is the concept that, when you get down to it, people will act no better than the zombies themselves. They will kill others for their food and weapons, go crazy and start slaughtering people and generally be just as monstrous as the flesh eating crazies.
So, I'm suggesting living vs living combat. Survivors, if they're hungry / without weapons, should try to take them off of others by force. You can placate them in some way (giving them food?), but otherwise they'll be happy to gun you down and then take your food.
Of course, this means that items can't be destroyed upon death, but it should still work.
I ask that players can do it, too, but that their reputation as a robber / murderer spreads around and they'll start getting shot at on sight by other survivors.
Any comments?

In some way, we already have this: bikers and gangsters. They are the people that act no better than the zombies.
What im looking forward in Living vs Living Combat is the option to threaten. eg. Id like to see an NPC asking for a trade, and if you deny him several times he could threaten you for said item. Or if an actor been following you and you dont want his company(he could be looking for protection or starving or just wandering in the same direction), to scare him with your rifles and shotguns and grenades.
It could be implemented as: when you aim(F) and shout (S) you give a warning to whoever your aiming. It wouldn't work with melee thou. Killing a friendly actor with someone as a witness should brand you as hostile. Having the Psycho's axe could brand you as hostile too xD
But what im looking for is the option to go postal with every single actor...
